ORIGIN OF CORPORATIONS.
The Large Capital Required Prevents Sue
cosa af Drnhncors

The Large Capital Required Prevents Sue
cess of Small Producers.
Machinery is now recognized MS es-
sential to cheap production. Nobody
can produce effectively and economical
ly without it, and what was formerly
known as domestic manufacture is now
almost obsolete. But machinery is one
of the most expensive of ali products,
and its extensive purchase and use re-
quire an amount of capital far beyond
the capacity of the ordinary individual
to furnish. There arc very few men in
the world possessed of an amount OF
wealth sufficient to individually con-
struct and own an extensive line of rail.
road or telegraph, first-class steam
ship or great factory. 1t is also to
be remembered that for carrying on
production by the most modern
and effective methods large capital is
needed, not only for machinery, but al
SO for the purchasing and carrying of
extensive stocks of crude material and
finished products. Sugar can now be,
and generally is, refined at profit OF
I'm eighth of cent a pound, and some-
times as low as q sixteenth; or, in
other words, from eight to sixteen
pounds of raw sugar must now be
treated in refining in order to make q
cent; from eight hundred to sixteen
hundred pounds to make dollar, from
eighty thousand to one hundred and
sixty thousand pounds to make a hun
bred dollars, and so on. The mere cap
ital requisite for providing and carry
ing the raw material necessary for the
successful prosecution of this business,
apart from all other conditions, places
it. therefore, of necessity beyond the
reach of any ordinary capitalist or pro.
Queer. 1t has been before stated that,
in the manufacture of jcwclry by ma
chinery, one boy can make up nine
thousand sloeve-buttons per day; four
girls, also, working by modern methods,
can put together in the same time,
eight thousand collar-buttons. But to
run an establishment with such facil-
ties the manufacturer must keep con-
stantly in stock thirty thousand dollars
worth Of cut ornamental Stones, and a
stock of cuff-buttons that represents
nine thousand different designs and pat
terms. Hence from such conditions have
grown up great corporations or stock
companies. which arc only forms of as
sociated capital organized for effective
use and protection. They are regarded
to some extent as evils; but they arc
necessary, rs there is apparently no
other way in which the work of pro-
duction and distribution. In accordance
with the requirements of the ago, can
be prosecuted. The rapidity, however,
with which such combinations of capi-
tai are organizing for the purpose of
promoting industrial and commercial
undertakings on scale heretofore
wholly unprecedented and the tend
ency they have to crystalline into some
thing far more complex than what has
been familiar to the public as corpora
tons, with the impressive names Of
syndicates, trusts, etc, also constitute
one of the remarkable features Of mod.
ern business methods. Hon. David 4.

Street Names in the City Of Mexico.

The names of the streets in the
City of Mexico is apt to strike
one with a sort of awe, for they we're
christened in the days of religious
fanaticism. Think of living on Jesus
street. Imagine yourself telling a
hackman to drive to No. A, Blood of
Christ street, or ordering your bag
gageman to take your trunk to No.
6 Holy Ghost street. 1t does not
seem so much like blasphemy to
speak these names or hear them spoken
in Spanish but even then, to be told
that one lives over a saloon on the
the street Of the love of God (Calle
Amor de Dios) makes a reverend

directors and alse supposed to be in the
syndicate to which President Garrett of
the Baltimore & Ohio has offered the
option of purchase, said, after a meeting
of the Richmond terminal directors to
day; I'VE have not decided yet whether
or not we shall accept the offer. l greatly
doubt if Carrot would sell except on con-
dition that the Baltimore & Ohio and the
Richmond terminal be consolidated,

Another Richmond terminal director
said it was not likely the company would
accept CARROTS offer, but he thought the
syndicate, in which he said Messrs. Brice,
Sully and Thomas are interested, would
do SC. This director said the terms were
SC, 900, 900 down and $40, OOO, 900 in one
year, stock for that amount to be held as
security. The Richmond & Danville
people, he said, considered the figures
altogether too high.
BALTIMORE, March l0.-Robert Gar
rett this afternoon virtually admitted to a
prominent Baltimore man that there was
considerable truth in the newspaper talk
of the big railroad deal. He would give
no definite idea Of the particulars of the
scheme, but from his remarks the infer
ence was drawn that the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad has become a factor in the
syndicate that is to control something like
a national railway, reaching from Canada
to the Gulf of Mexico and probably from
New York to the extreme West. 1t is
generally believed that the biggest rail
road deal on record has been or is about
to be made. and that the passage of the
inter state commerce bill has hurried the
affair to a settlement.

Neebe VIII Attend.

CHICAGO, March lO.-Oscar Neebe. the
anarchist, to-day selected Paul Grottkau
and George Schilling to deliver orations
at his wife s funeral services in MiIler's
hall, Sunday. Grottkau was Spies pred
ecessor as editor of the Arbeiter Zeitung,
and was a prominent figure in the riots at
Milwaukee last spring. Schilling is a
noted local socialist, labor agitator and
ward politician. Nothing of a religious
character will enter into the ceremonies.
1t has been decided hat the procession
will only accompany the corpse to the city
limits. Chief Of Police Ebersold says
that no special police arrangements have
yet been made regarding the proposed
demonstration. lie understands that 'it
is not to be a red flag affair" Central
Labor Union members say they will carry
the regulation banners of the various soci-
cites composing the organization. Should
they do so, there will be no absence of
red flags, for the societies and their II, 900
members are almost without exception
radically socialist, and their bunting is of
the most vivid crimson. Each society is
providing itself with a band Of mnsic for
the occasion. Sheriff Matson to-day de-
cided that Necbe should, unmanacled, be
allowed to accompany his wife's corpse to
the cemetery, guarded by a siugle deputy.

A MYSTERY SOLVED.
Peculiar Habits of the Denmead
Family.
Viewing the Remains of the
Famous Preacher.
Lucy Parsons Still Behind the
Bars.
Shocking Depravlty.

New BRUNSWICK, N. j., March TO-
The Denmead family have for years fur
nished gossip for the people of New
Brunswick. Eccentric and wealthy, yet
living in squalor in a wretched howell under
ground, they have furnished material for
many a newspaper story. For the past
two months rumors relative to the condi-
ton OF Mrs. Samuel Denmead have been
flying about. 1t being utterly impossible
to secure an entrance to the hovel, owing
to the fierce conduct of Samuel Denmead,
no one solved the mystery until to-day.
The theory that Mrs. Denmead was dead
gained currency for two reasons-because
she mad not been seen for over two
months, and because her husband, Sam
uel, recently ordered collins by wholesale
from Il local carpenter. A warrant for
the arrest of Denmead was issued this
afternoon upon the complaint of Mrs.
brundage, of Picataway, and Chief of
Police Fouratt, accompanied by officers,
reporters and relatives of the Denmeads,
proceeded to the hovel. On reaching the
door they were confronted by John Den
mead, n of the brothers, who attempted
to prevent their entrance, but he was
easily ~overpowered. As the door opened
a frightful stencil assailed the nostrils of
the party. John Denmead, seeing that
resistance was useless, procured a light
and led the way into a rear room, where,
upon the same bed, lay the dead bodies of
Cornelia and Robert Denmead, horribly
decomposed. When asked why the fact
of his relatives death had not been made
known, John Denmead said: 1--WE are
afraid they will be taken away from u.s."
Officers were placed on guard at the howell
and John and Samuel Denmead were
taken into custody.
A coroner jury has been ~impanelled to
determine the cause OF the death of the
Denmeads. Jehn says that they both
died five weeks ago, and hat he wanted
to have them buried and out of the way.
but Samuel would not listen to it. The
bodies have been removed by order of
County Physician Rice. When Samuel
was taken into the washroom Of the jail to
be given a bath, he fought like a tiger.
The coroner jury will meet Monday.

Cutting Freight Rates.

CHICAGO, March Io.-A circular issued
to day by the Chicago, Santa Fe & Cali
fornia Railway company (Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe extension) states that
Emmons Blaine has been appointed gen.
eral passenger agent Of the road. He will
enter upon his duties April l..
Various railroads to Council Bluffs and
Omaha are indulging in considerable rate
cutting on all classes Of freight from Chi
cago. 1t is claimed here this evening that
tariff rates are off % per cent. Quite a
large amount of traffic Is going forward,
shippers Selling the opportunity to dis
pose of as much freight as possible before
the new tariffs go into effect.
